The Top Ten

1I Remember You

Fantastic episode with the most heartwarming moment in the series. Truly shows what adventure time is capable of and deserves to be first.

You would probably think that I have favorites. Apparently I do. I love marceline. She's so awesome. This episode will also make you cry like her in this episode. This may lack action but it will certainly touch your heart. Add the great voice of rebecca sugar (voice of marcy), the way she sings there made me cry. Music in this episode is genius.

The sweetest episode... Truly amazing, especially for a weird, awesome show like adventure time. The background of this show is like no other. Almost cried...

It was a fantastic episode, I really liked the well thought out song. And it was really tear jerking in the flashback, the aftermath of the war, young Marcy was there cold and all alone, then luckily Ice King came along and gave her the toy to make her feel better. I really enjoyed this episode and I'm pretty sure you all did too. - PeeledBanana

I am always "the tough one" in a group but I can't help but to cry in this episode. One would appreciate this more if they watched the series "cheers". I always liked the fact that the setting of adventure time is post-apocalyptic. This episode emphasized its setting. This episode is truly my fave. No wonder why it's an emmy award nominee.

This episode was fantastic, probably my favourite episode of all time. I can't believe it's so low.

This episode was beautiful. It was funny, and yet sad at the same time. Seeing Ice King trying to protect Marceline was a very heartwarming sight.

I thought that AT was going to be the whole emotional girlfriend/boyfriend thing they had changed it into, but then Card Wars came along. It brought back the original, Finn and Jaje messing around hilarity I thought made the best episode. Also, Card Wars seems like a really cool game.

Extremely fun game to watch Finn and Jake play. The game actually seems very fun, and looks very well thought out on the episode creator's part! I also love the "Finn and Jake messing around" part, it's not often we see that. Most of the time we get the episodes focused on a whole adventure time universe and episodes important to the season, but this episode was just pure fun!

It was so funny! I thought adventure time was becoming different and just being about girlfriends and boyfriends but then they made this episode! It's just like the old finn and jake goofing off episodes that I miss a lot. - SammySpore

People hate this episode because they say it ruined Finn, I don't believe this though. It simply showed Finn to be imperfect, sure he was a terrible person for what he did, but it was such a good way to show the extreme consequences of your actions. Also, In the seventh season, Finn became much better just with the episode where he is forgiven by FP. - kempokid

This to me is one of the worst episodes. While the action is indeed awesome, Finn is going out of his way to hurt both the Ice King and Flame Princess just to get wet dreams. - MKBeast

It earns the number 3 spot on my top ten worst adventure time episodes because this episode totally destroys Finn's character

This episode was so bad I stopped watching adventure time for a while - YourKingMaractus

This episode is amazing! The music is beautiful, I really love both of the songs, especially I'm just your problem. The characters really open up and we get to see a lot out of them (Marceline in this episode was great, as well as Finn). Not to mention that Jake was hilarious with his "jerk in the band" act. This was just an amazing episode.

The music in this episode was great and the writers portrayed lots of genuine emotion with the rift between PB and Marceline. I think this episode definitely qualifies as one of the best in Adventure time thus far.

A lot of amazing stuff in only 10 minutes! The villain was trippy and funny, the drama was simple yet effective. The relationships between the characters were expressed by singing which was cleverly explained and executed in the episode. I would show this to a AT first timer. - sipinii

Mixes the fun of old Adventure Time and the seriousness of new Adventure Time. Told a whole story in 10 minutes. Great character development and a fun villain. Fun to watch and overall a fantastic episode

This is my favourite episode! :) But the funniest thing is that when my younger brother is angry, he is exactly like Lemongrab! (Well, except that there's no lemon juice rattling around in his head when he laughs. )

The mix of honest yearning and lemongrab make this episode unacceptably great. The episodes like this that build the characters are the best. - sipinii

This is the most mature episode in adventure time. Instead of trying to earn princess bubblegum's love, he waits for her love, because he's too young.

Finn and Flame Princess FOREVER! This episode has GOT to be the best, plus it has the most amount of viewers, with 3.5 Million viewers, beating the record set by 'Fionna & Cake' with 3.3. I don't think PB is jealous, okay maybe a little; but at least she has valid reasons.This has got to be the number one. The most talked-about love triangle, FLAME PRINCESS, FINN AND PRINCESS BUBBLEGUM!

Oh finn + flame princess is just beautiful and romantic and the princess bubblegum is jealous

This is easily my favourite episode; Finn and Flame Princess are so cute together and this episode proves they are made for each other also Princess Bubblegum is jealous

The scene where Finn explains to Princess Bubblegum how he moved on is beyond amazing!

It was the first adventure time episode I watched when I was 10. I thought it was hilarious - SammySpore

Best episode by far. Deserves to be on top 10

I do not actually like this episode. I do not know why.

The candy kindom gets infested and turn into zombies.

13Memories of Boom Boom Mountain

Hilarious episode! Nice to have a random story like this with no relation to plot that's still so well done. As a side note, I thought it was fun to see an episode centered around the rough-housing village. Those vikings are so funny!

A good one, problem is that the guy who voiced the mountain man also voiced Hector on Sanjay and Craig. - 445956

The first time I saw this episode I spent like two minutes shocked after the episode finished just looking at the screen. It"s the scariest and weirdest episode of all the show, and this episode is not for kids! But I loved it, it gives me the creeps... Brr!

This episode definitely had the darkest feel to it. It really creeped me out. I think it would make a good movie. I felt bad for jake cause he went crazy.

As much as I love the "Simon & Marcy episodes and the episodes where Finn and Jake just goof off, this episode is fantastic. It has a dark tone, a scary concept (while still having a satisfying ending), it had a lot of suspense. This plot is good enough to be turned into a movie.

The most unique episode. The episode that me love adventure time a lot more

The green female ghost in the bathroom gave me nightmares! One of the most disturbing AT episodes I have seen!

This episode is so funny. Prince Hottbod, the bathroom screaming, the whole Brad thing- I just love watching it. And the part with the ghost lady always mystifies me. (even though I've seen the vault I just always thought it was a cool scene) - seerOfmind

I can't BELIVE THIS I NOT HIGHER! This the best episode of the show, and the most dark. I can't BELIVE THEY FIT A MURDER MYSTERY INTO ADVENTURE TIME!

Just because I love Tiffany laugh out loud - mrpotatoheadchernobylstyle

Jake tries to get lay rainicorn and finn better friends but things get complicated.

17Death in Bloom

The very best the show has to offer! The animation is incredibly creative and interesting, the characters are all on top form, and the jokes are hilarious, especially in the first half. Also, how great is Peppermint Butler?

I like the way Death is portrayed in this episode, a deer skeleton living in a castle of light.

This episode introduces the Lich, who has real menace and one of the most badass evil laughs ever heard on televison. The main plot also makes for one grand quest. Finn and Jake are fully aware of the stakes, but they handle it in a way that is unique to this show. When you hear this exchange (they're chasing after the lich)Jake: This is our first fate of the world deal!Finn: Yeah, man! We gotta shut this fool down hardcore!It's just awesome.

It was nice to see Ice King working with Finn and Jake to defeat The Lich

In this episode, the most evil of evil anatagonist is introduced. He is the lich

21Guardians of Sunshine

22Jake Suit

This episode really funny! One of the best

23Stakes

24Holly Jolly Secrets

OH MY GOD! What can I really say about this episode? It revealed the tragic backstory of the ice king, the jokes are HILARIOUS and its just has great plot overall. Go watch this episode.. My 2nd favorite episode.

The reveal of Ice King's past is one of the greatest scenes in all of animation.

25Hitman

Seeing the Ice king hiring a Hitman to literally "Hit" Finn and Jake is awesome. Then seeing the Ice King hiring a "Hitman Hitman" to Hit the Hitman is just amazing. - hockeyvampire

HOW IS THIS NOT IN THE TOP TEN this was like the most heartwarming episode in adventure time, is wasn't a typical episode, it focused on different characters and gives us a great moral and different perspective of adventure time...this episode was so beautiful..

This is what makes adventure time so diff and awesome from any other shows, it can me you love it even if your favorite character is not there. This is heartwarming and life-affirming. It will teach you a lesson. Watch it.

One of my first episodes, in fact it might be my very first. I was literally crying with happiness at the end.

It was really cool of Marcy to actually care about those two!Buuut I dislike the ending. (no point on it)

37The LichThe Lich (formerly named the Lich King in the original pitch and "His Hero," and referred to as Sweet Pig Trunks in his baby form, or just Sweet P for short) is a powerful undead being and a major antagonist in the American animated series Adventure Time.

How is this not an option! My favourite episode by far! I love the sense of adventure and the foreboding feeling throughout! The Lich really can be quite scary! Also this episode ends on a cliffhanger which I love

How is this not an option? My favourite episode by far! I love the darker tone to this episode and the absolute terryfiying nature of the Litch itself! This episode really is Adventure Time at its best! It also end on a cliffhanger and I love that

38Mystery Dungeon

Seeing all the characters together was so satisfying.

Awesome! Tree Trunks, Shelby, NEPTR, Lemongrab and Ice King ALL go on a quest in a dungeon? That's pretty awesome!

39Princess Cookie

This episode is surprisingly serious compared to the other episodes and I was surprised to see a relevance to suicide DONE RIGHT (looking at you One Coarse Meal) and its great at the end! - bdcool3

Only episode on T.V. that has ever made me cry. So touching

The only episode on a T.V. show that has ever made me cry

This episode, to me, was sadder than I Remember You. Don't kill me - 445956
